Mastering Pleats

I have spent so much time trying to master the pleats technique.  Tutorial after tutorial, oh how I've practiced.  Now, I still have a LOOOOONG way to go, but I feel like I'm making headway.

Here's my newest card!

First I colored the adorable Celebrate Joyfully Wryn by Tiddle Inks

I used the Ah-Mazing MFT Stamps Heavyweight card stock in Snow Cone as my base.  Then a layer of Kraft and Cherry Red.  I stamped the "enjoy your day" sentiment over and over again in the Cherry Red MFT Stamps Ink.  I love it because it exactly matches the cards tock.  The rectangular and square panels are made using My Mind's Eye papers matted over more Kraft card Stock.

I cut two labels with the MFT Dies: Sentiments and a Crochet Border as well.  

Topped it off with a cherry red button with a twine bow.

I kept the inside simple with matted squares of smooth white over cherry red.

Hope you like it!

I decided to enter this in my first challenges!
